Here’s a Good Hat
The essential qualities of good hats are style, color, fit and
material. Style is most important—quality of material is absolute-
ly necessary, while grace and comfort must receive due
consideration.

A Comfortable Feeling
A good many things may happen that will give
you a feeling of comfort and security, but nothing
will do this more surely than the knowledge that
you have money in the Bank.
This is particularly true if your money is in our
bank where you know it is safe. You know it is
there subject to your needs. That you can get it
when you want it. That it is safe until you peed it.
If you have no bank account, we invite you to start
one at our bank now, no matter how small. You
will add to it from time to time and it will soon be
a source of comfort and security to you.

night, officials were inclined to. lake
into consideration,.that a reply might
have been delayed and indicated that
a favorable reply, even though a day
or more late, would not be rejected,
inasmuch as an adjustment of the
international difficulties was the
chief object.
Refusal to accept the terms of the
agreement under which American
troops would be withdrawn from Chi-
huahua means the closing of nego-
tiations through the join*; commis-
sion for adjustment of the questions
at issue between the United States
and the de facto goverament of Mex-
ico. What effect the new situation
then presented would have on the
policy of the United States is not
known, but it was said at the State
Department today that any further
move would be made through the us-
ual channels and not by the commis-
sion which for more than three
months attempted to fix amicable set-

tlement. Dr. John R. Mott, one of
the American commissioners, cor.fir-
red with Secretary Lane during the
day, and both expressed the hope that
Carranza’s reply would be favorable.
The more general opinion amontv
Government officials, however, was
that the Mexican executive would
not alter his repeated declaration that
the American troops must be drawn-
unconditionally and that any further
discussion of international subjects
could not take place while foreign
trqops “violated the sovereignty” of
Mexico.
NOTHING LEFT BUT ADJOURN-
MENT.
If Carranza persists in his refusal
there will be nothing for the mem-
bers of the joint commission to do
but to hold one last conference to
close the record and say goodby.

German Allies Reply to President’s
Note.
Berlin, Dec. 26.—The reply of the
German allies to the peace note of
President Wilson was given today.
The reply failed to name any peace
terms. The reply was in the form of
a joint note and was handed to the di-
plomatic representatives of the Unit-
ed States in Vienna, Sofia, Constan-
tinople and Berlin. The reply states
that the imperial government con-
sidered President’s Wilson’s note in a
friendly manner, but that “in the
opinion of the German government the
great work for the prevention of fu-
ture wars can begin only at the end
of the present struggle.”
When the time comes, says the re-
ply, the German government will be
ready to collaborate with the United
States.
The note says:
“The high minded suggestions
made^ by the president of the United
States of America in order to create
a basis for the establishment of a
lasting peace have been received and
considered by the imperial govern-
ment in the friendly spirit which was
expressed in the president’s com-
munication.
“The president points out that
which he has at heart and leaves open
the choice of road.
“To the imperial government an
immediate exchange of views seems
to be the most appropriate road in
order to reach the desired result.
“It begs, therefore, in the sense of
the declaration made Dec. 12, which
offered a hand for peace negotiations,
to propose an immediate meeting of
the belligerent states as a neutral
place.
“The imperial government is also
of the opinion that the great work of
preventing further wars can be be-
gun only after the end of the present
struggle of the nations.
“It will, when this moment shall
have come, be ready with pleasure to
collaborate entirely with the United
States in this exalted task,”
